In this age group, although they also appreciate detailed descriptions, they don't like long and lengthy narratives. They hope that the works can inspire thinking, but they are not used to the feeling of being preached. In general, they hope for concise and rich works, hope for the unity of depth and randomness, hope to obtain the unified light of wisdom between contradiction and integration, and hope for works that have a good balance between leisure and learning. Of course, this is quite difficult or even difficult for the author, so let's learn from writing and reading. I hope to have more exchanges and support my writing. Even a free power generation can move us.

When she set off clutching the wrinkled green train ticket, the hard-boiled eggs baked by her mother were wrapped in a blue cloth bag. The remaining warmth seeped into her palms through the coarse cloth, and the lines of the peach wood amulet around her neck were rubbed brightly by her fingertips. Only later did she realize that these pyrotechnic weights had long been turned into the courage to overcome obstacles over time.

This book has been completed. The writing structure is slightly like "Three Body", the subject matter is novel and sci-fi and realistic, the language is funny and sharp, and there is no golden finger of the time-traveling and rebirth system. It is full of logic, suspense and reasoning, and the reading threshold is high, so the rating is low. The content covers history, workplace, military, technology, national security, espionage, hacking, criminal investigation, scheming, murder, etc. The ending is mind-blowing and has depth. If you are used to slap-in-the-face and have no patience for cool articles, or can't understand the opening chapter, please don't disturb...

Reader note
Cold and precise writing: The writing is very textured, and the description of the war scenes is cruel and true, full of imagery and impact. The description of emotions is extremely restrained, and simple actions and dialogues are often used to convey great grief (such as crying by the Yellow River), which is even more powerful. Excellent rhythm control: From the middle stage, the plot tension continues to increase, with street fighting in Yanzhou, battle of wits in Cizhou, and battle between Gao Ping, each link making you breathless. Unified dark tone: It maintains a depressing, tragic, and desolate atmosphere from beginning to end, and successfully conveys this atmosphere to readers, with a strong sense of immersion. 5. Extraordinary artistic courage and thoughtfulness. Rejection of routines: It completely abandons the "travel and cheat" cool writing mode. Instead, the protagonist is repeatedly frustrated in the torrent of history, continues to lose, and finally leads to the tragic ending of self-destruction. This courage to not cater to the market is admirable. Provoke continuous thinking: After reading this story, you won't be able to put it down easily. It forces you to think about questions of memory, truth, power, and sacrifice. This kind of aftertaste and impact cannot be given by ordinary novels. In summary, the "goodness" of this novel lies in: It uses a top-notch science fiction setting to package a profound historical fable, telling a philosophical story about existence and loss, which is full of heartbreaking characters and extremely impactful emotional experiences. It is a book that needs to be read with both head and heart. It will consume you emotionally, but it will also reward you with far more than entertainment - an aesthetic shock and intellectual enlightenment. It's not just about "looking good," it's about excellence and excellence.
